A PUBLIC FORUM ON Laudato Si' - On Care for our Common Ground

Father Frank Brennan
All are welcome to this Public Forum led by Fr. Frank Brennan, S.J. to discuss and answer questions on Laudato Si' - On Care For Our Common Home.

On Care for Our Common Home (Laudato Si') is an appeal from Pope Francis addressed to "every person living on this planet" for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet. He calls on us to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path.

One year ago, on June 18th 2015, Pope Francis released his historic encyclical and in 2016 will launch Laudato Si Week a major international celebration to reflect on the message and take action to bring it to life.

Father Frank Brennan will be joined by other special guests. Fr Brennan is an Australian Jesuit Priest, Human Rights Lawyer and Academic. He is known for his 1998 involvement in the Wik debate when Paul Keating called him "the meddling priest" and the National Trust classified him as a Living National Treasure. Brennan has a longstanding reputation of advocacy in the areas of law, social justice, refugee protection and Aboriginal reconciliation.
